1985
GABRIEL had found himself in the back room of Scoops Ahoy, which is honestly the most depressing place on earth. It was like the type of room that could drive a person insane if they spent too much time in it. Gabriel could feel his head spinning from how long he was stuck in here. It was a small square room that reminded him of a hospital and the loud buzzing sound that came from the walk-in freezer made all of it even worse. Besides, he was only there anyway because his sister Inez who also works there had to watch over him because of the stupid shit he pulled on the last week of school before summer break that lead him to be grounded from their parents. The walls were blank except for a whiteboard Robin used to track Steve Harrington's horrible attempts at flirting with women who came into Scoops.
Gabriel had even seen some of the attempts that left a sort of cringe expression on his face from the window that connected the front of the store with the back of the store. Gabe usually found himself opening the window by sliding it open and closed and for his entertainment he would open it and watch Inez, Robin & Steve do their job and also make fun of Steve for his horrible flirting.
"You suck, like actually," Gabriel remarked, smirking from the window as Steve finished another failed attempt to charm some girls.
Steve shot an annoyed glance at Gabe. "Thanks for the support, Gabe. Really boosting my confidence here." He said sarcastically, running a hand through his hair in frustration.
Robin who was there with him chuckled. "He's right, though. You really do suck at this, Steve."
Inez glanced over her shoulder with a slight smile. "Maybe if you stopped trying so hard, Steve, it would come more naturally." She gave him advice.
Steve sighed dramatically. "Oh, like you're some expert in the field, Inez?"
Inez shrugged, a mischievous glint in her eye. "I'm not the one striking out left and right."
Gabriel laughed, leaning against the window. "Face it, Harrington. You're hopeless."
Steve shot his hand up, flipping Gabriel off. Gabriel simply smirked at him before walking out of the backroom and to the front as Steve made his way in the back room. There wasn't much to do in Scoops Ahoy all day. Occasionally he would explore the mall and Gabriel has been to almost every store and also tried all of the restaurants in the food court. His favorite was most likely Great Panda.
Once Gabriel was at the front of Scoops, He sat on the counter which Inez noticed and looked obviously annoyed at what Gabriel was doing. Besides she found what everything Gabriel did was annoying.
